Jamie Reid’s film, ‘The Revenge of the 6ft Arm’, inspired by the 1940s radio play ‘The Arm’, is about an unusually tall man who is murdered but whose arm is carelessly left behind when the body is disposed of. The arm then seeks revenge, and in classic B-movie style hunts down the four gang members who killed him.
